151 | Goodbye Gather in Growth

In this deeply personal solo episode, Emily shares a sacred goodbye to Gather in Growth—the name, the container, the version of herself who first hit record nearly three years ago. What began as a cozy, soul-nourishing space for women navigating personal and professional growth has transformed into something wilder, deeper, and more expansive than she could’ve imagined. This isn’t an ending—it’s an evolution.
Emily pulls back the curtain on the pivotal conversation that sparked this change, the resistance she felt at first, and the slow, undeniable awakening that followed. From unexpected family curveballs to spiritual deep-dives, to birthing an entirely new coaching framework and body of work—she walks you through the liminal space of becoming. Of questioning everything. Of shedding the masks and finally finding the language for what was always stirring beneath the surface.
This episode is for anyone standing on the edge of their next chapter, unsure of what it will look like—but certain they can’t stay where they’ve been. It’s an invitation to evolve, to trust, and to boldly walk into the unknown. Wild & Waking is not just a new name—it’s the next era. And it starts now.
Meet Emily Reuschel:
Emily Reuschel is a Soul Expansion Coach for Wild & Waking Women—and a passionate advocate for the leaders, dreamers, and changemakers of rural communities and beyond.
Known for her ability to challenge the status quo with warmth, authenticity, and bold truth-telling, Emily empowers women to break free from inherited beliefs, come home to themselves, and live fully in their authentic power.
As the host of the Gather in Growth podcast and the facilitator of transformative retreats, workshops, and virtual communities, Emily creates sacred spaces for connection, healing, and radical self-remembrance.
Her work isn’t about setting neater goals or tighter routines—it’s about shedding old identities, confronting the programming of family, church, and culture, and reconnecting to the wisdom of your own body, intuition, and soul.
Emily believes that true leadership starts with belonging fully to yourself, even if it means being misunderstood.
She is here for the rural rebels, the cycle-breakers, the tender-hearted truth-tellers—the women who are deeply rooted and wildly uncontainable, ready to create a life, business, and community that honors their truest self.
Through heartfelt storytelling, thought-provoking conversations, and powerful community-building, Emily’s work creates a ripple effect of lasting, soul-deep change.
If you’re aching for something more honest, more embodied, more you—you’re in the right place.
In this episode, Goodbye Gather in Growth, we explore:
- The origin story behind the name change and the moment Emily realized Gather in Growth no longer fully reflected the depth of her work
- The powerful (and uncomfortable) conversation with Alexis Frank that planted the seed for this evolution
- Resistance to letting go of a beloved brand identity—and the eventual surrender to what was asking to be birthed
- Why Wild & Waking feels like a soul-level fit for this next chapter of Emily’s journey and community
- A peek behind the scenes of launching a new offer suite, from high-level coaching to low-ticket containers
- Real-life curveballs: losing both of her husband’s grandfathers, a whirlwind spring season, and parenting through it all
- How Emily’s own spiritual awakening and deep dive into the divine feminine has been reshaping her voice, vision, and work
- The messy, nonlinear path of evolution—and the importance of staying with the questions even when clarity hasn’t arrived
- What it means to shed subconscious masks, release performative safety, and embody true belonging within yourself
- A love letter to the women who feel like they don’t quite fit anywhere else—and the invitation to come home to your wild, awakened self
